You have been given a wonderful opportunity to help and heal America and the world. Thank you for using your gifts so well. "When a man has had a great deal given him on trust, even more will be expected of him" (Luke 12:48), says Jesus. We ask you to do truth and to do justice, especially for the outsiders, the poor, and the voiceless. To do this well, we ask you to let go of any concern for a second term, and leave that future to God and to grace.

I will express my disagreements with other community members' ideas without insulting, mocking, or slandering them personally. (Matthew 5:22)
